alfresco.log Permission Denied

[jriker1]

I have setup Alfresco 3.2 Preview2 the very latest like Jun 2nd.  Works fine on OpenSuse 11 following basically this guide:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Alfresco_Labs_3_on_openSUSE_11.1

That said, I am getting errors in the tomcat logs about Permission Denied for the alfresco.log file.  Keep in mind this is a war deployment.  I have modified the log4j.properties files in the folders Tomcat made from the war files but still getting this message.  No alfresco.log file exists anywhere on the server at this point.

Thanks for any input.

It would help if you could post the errors you're getting.

Thanks,

Let me know if you need the whole thing.  It's on a Linux box so not easily ported to my PC.  Basically I get in the tomcat 6 log:

log4j: ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: alfresco.log (Permission denied)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method)
….

Let me know if you need more.

Thanks.

The error is from log4j rather than alfresco.

Are you running alfresco as root or another account?

Check the permissions of the "alfresco.log" file and make sure that the account running alfresco has write permissions to the log file.
